A diploid set for humans consists of 46 chromosomes. This means there are 23 pairs of chromosomes, with one chromosome from each pair inherited from each parent.
If gametes were diploid, the zygote would contain double the number of chromosomes found in a typical diploid zygote. So, if a human diploid cell normally has 46 chromosomes, a diploid gamete would have 46 chromosomes as well, resulting in a zygote with 92 chromosomes.
A diploid cell is sometimes described as having two identical sets of chromosomes.This is because for each copy of a chromosome, such as chromosome 7, there is one other copy of the same chromosome.However, such a pair, known as homologous chromosomes, are not truly identical, as they do not have identical base sequences. At any given locus (point on the chromosome) there will be the same type of information, such as a gene, transcription factor, or repeating sequence. But the exact form (allele) will in many cases be different on the two homologous chromosomes.
A diploid cell contains two sets of homologous chromosomes, with one chromosome from each parent forming each pair. Therefore, there are typically 23 pairs of homologous chromosomes in a diploid human cell, totaling 46 chromosomes.
Assuming it is not in the anaphase stage then the chromosomes had 22 sister chromatids. 1 chromosome has 2 sister chromatids.
A human diploid cell contains 46 chromosomes, organized in 23 pairs. This includes 22 pairs of autosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes (XX in females and XY in males).
The term diploid is an adjective, not a noun. You might ask how many diploid cells are in humans. The answer is, many trillions. Most human cells are diploid. Only the gametes are haploid.
A haploid cell contains one set of chromosomes, which is half the number of chromosomes found in a diploid cell. In humans, for example, haploid cells (like sperm and egg cells) have 23 chromosomes, while diploid cells (like most body cells) have 46 chromosomes. Thus, a haploid has half the diploid chromosome number.
A chromosome in humans is made up of one long DNA molecule. This DNA molecule is double-stranded and contains thousands of genes.
A diploid organism typically has 46 chromosomes, with 23 pairs. Each pair includes one chromosome from each parent.

Haploid cells contain one copy of each chromosome. This means they have half the number of chromosomes as diploid cells, which have two copies of each chromosome.
the diploid number of chromosomes is the number of chromosomes that organism is haploid for times 2. It looks like this: 2n. Humans have 23 chromosomes each. So the mother has 23 chromosomes (this # is the haploid # of chromosomes for humans), plus the father who also has 23 chromosomes, is the diploid number of chromosomes, 46.
Fertilization restores the diploid number by combining one haploid gamete from the mother with one haploid gamete from the father to form a zygote with the full diploid set of chromosomes. In an organism with a haploid chromosome number of 8, each spermatogonium would have 16 chromosomes because they are diploid cells that undergo mitosis to produce sperm cells with the haploid number.
If two haploid cells combine, a diploid cell is formed with two copies of each chromosome, one from each haploid cell. This results in a total of 46 chromosomes in humans, where each chromosome has a homologous pair.
